Widow Testifies at a Military Court

[kandrathe]

And just how, exactly, does one decide (before the age of 15) not to embrace the culture you were reared in? How are you supposed to even notice that there might be another one?

There are 9 to 13 year old girls being forced into prostitution by Somalian "terrorist" aligned gangs living in the Mpls/St. Paul metro area.

In that a US special forces squad went off to Afghanistan, attacked an armed compound where known "enemies" were hanging out, and in the process had a soldier killed by a grenade is also tragic.

That there happened to be a 15 year old boy caught up in the conflict, whether or not he lobbed the grenade is also tragic. If he is the face of our enemies, then we've lost already.

I just question our priorities in exacting justice. Who will face harsher justice? The 30 probable terrorists in our own back yard caught in a heinous slavery scheme, or the 15 year old we've spent many millions, transporting from Afghanistan, incarcerating, interrogating, and putting on trial. He's served 8 years of hell already, and will probably spend another 8 years on his 40 year sentence. If this is what we consider justice, then we've lost all sense of our priorities.

Perhaps we might send the IRS after 916 fraudsters in North Africa, that too might be a colossal waste of time and resources. It's legalistic insanity. Heretofore, on our foreign battlefields, I'd say either kill em in the fight, put them in a POW camp in the country they are in, or let them go if they are no longer a threat.
